" The American nation is not truly and permanently re-

war; but, in that worst case, we still have confident hope
that the prudent and virtuous secession of the Free
States," etc. Again, " Every one of those will assuredly

arbiterm of the world -must all other nations do obei-
sance to them-must they hold the balance, and make
nations sink or rise according to their sovereign will
These are solemn questions, and deserve calm considera-
tion.
